I'm not much of a procedural person. That's not what I'm interested in.

Female violence is a specific brand of ferocity. It's invasive. A girlfight is all teeth and hair, spit and nails - a much more fearsome thing to watch than two dudes clobbering each other.

I love Robin Wright's character in 'House of Cards' because she's a bona fide villain. She's a not-nice person in a believable way; you can see her working in the world.

I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one - like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere.

I've always had a fondness for the Gothic. That's what kind of stories attract me: Why do people do bad things?

I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way.
